I've always been very uneasy about religion. I think the blogosphere, or, at least, the sane part of it has an uneasy relationship with religion. I am currently listening to - playing over again - Sacred Songs, a CD I have previously blogged.
"In a sense, all music is sacred, because it seems to come to us from a divine source,� says Plácido Domingo.
I so want to agree. As I have previously blogged, I do regard myself as a Christian, if being a Christian means believing in God the Father, the Son, and Spirit, taking the words of the Gospel as, well, gospel, and believing in an hereafter. As I said in that post, I would like to worship god in the right setting. That setting might be in the great outdoors, or an urban park. Some of the very best music is music written for the purposes of conventional religion. This CD contains fifteen religious songs, and Climb Every Mountain, which is a worship of the great outdoors. Mozart's very finest, in my honest opinion, is his sacred music.
I wonder if my version of religion/spirituality is in fact pagan. Maybe it doesn't really matter. What I do know is that I want to be free to worship my god.
